June 2011

… a luxurious and relaxing weekend filled with sunshine; and now few minutes to catch up on some late blogging before the weekend comes to a close. I hope that your weekend was romantic and beautiful wherever you are…

Basically, color analysis is all about your natural coloring (hair, skin, and eyes), and how that combo complements or contrasts with the things you choose to wear (makeup colors, clothing, or even jewelry).

Color analysis breaks people’s colorings down into the four color seasons — Spring, Summer, Autumn, and Winter. These color seasons are broken down even further, into 3 different categories per season. It’s not a perfect system, but it’s really helpful if you want to get a basic idea of what shades work for you.

How to find out which season you are:

So which season are you? Find out with the quick quiz below, courtesy of Cindy Busch Color Analysis.

Getting more specific:

Now that you know what general category you are, there are three types of coloring within each “season.” Sound confusing? I promise, it’s really not as bad as it sounds. You might land under two of the subcategories of your season and some might fall into two separate seasons (I am a summer and winter.) Don’t worry, this just expands your complementary colors! 🙂

DON’T GET OVERWHELMED, find your season below, (don’t worry about anything but yours) read the descriptions to find out which type you are to see your best colors. This in-depth list is courtesy of the book Color Me Beautiful.

Did you know coral is the color of the year? This courageous, confident, vibrant color dubbed “honeysuckle” by Pantone was named color of the year for 2011. So it’s fitting that shades of coral make up this delightful inspiration board, highlighting the happy feeling of summer.

Tonight I am grateful, you? I have so much to be grateful for; my health (you never truly appreciate it until it has been compromised), a new job, my incredible family, an amazing man and all of the people in my life that touch me with their presence, daily. Thank you God, for all of the gifts that you’ve given me! ♥
